>In order to impersonate an account to be used with an ASP.NET application, I need to enter the Account User Name and Password into a WEB.CONFIG file (this is a text configuration file for ASP.NET application). The syntax of entry in the WEB.CONFIG (as suggested by MSFT) is "DOMAIN\USERNAME". But when I was setting it up on a customer computer, the network administrator for Novell could not figure out what they mean by DOMAIN. So we could not set it up.

The network may be primarily Novell, but the machine hosting the ASP.NET app is a Windows box. If there are other Windows computers on the network, a Windows Domain may have already been set up. If the ASP.NET box is a member of that domain, that domain is the one you'd specify.

If there is no Windows Domain already set up, there are two possibilities:

1. If the ASP.NET box is Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 AND it has been specified as a Domain Controller, you'd use its domain.

2. If the ASP.NET box has not been set up as a Domain Controller, or is not capable of being a DC (e.g. Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional) then you'd specify the machine's NetBIOS name as the Domain.
